The table version sounded interesting until I looked at the dimensions. 22" is way too low to be useful as anything besides a bedside table. Anywhere slse I'd describe it as more of a tripping hazard. That's lower than the seat height of a lot of chairs. A typical table is more like 30-32".

It's still not a good idea to use tables.

Hey MadMoogle, thanks for nice words, I really appreciate this. Your mentioned table is targeted at a little bit different audience, as you already pointed out TableAir appeals more to users with good taste in aesthetics. Also another very important aspect of TableAir is that once paired with a smartphone true potential of TableAir is unveiled. One of the biggest obstacles when starting using standing table is what we call a hard switch. People start working standing 24/7 - sore legs and back are unavoidable. We believe it shouldn't be the case. The most sustainable way of changing work habits is to transform them step by step, so what the app does it suggests you when it's time to change a posture and little by little increases standing intervals until you reach your desired goal.

And as for pranksters it's prankster-proof :) the only way to connect to the table is via our app which utilizes secure bluetooth connection. Also every table has its own custom id and encrypted password, I mean everything is possible and with enough determination one can hack into most secure servers but I can honestly say that table is secure from domestic hacking.

And lastly about the lock of the height. The construction of our motors is made in such a way that once the desired height is reached it simply locks itself, meaning that if you wanna lower it again you have to use an app or the smart button - it's physically impossible to push it downwards, well unless you're hulk or something...

Anyway MadMoogle you touched some interesting points, thanks for checking out TableAir and you never know maybe one day we'll create something more suitable for you as well.


Or a normal table.

I mean - more of the actual use (non-chair-on-table) solutions?

What table are you using?

yes, the problem is, it is not a very good table.

Interesting. I didn’t know about table spaces.

Perhaps you mean 'table'?

Try tables

Table

Yea, I thought about it too, but my table is not as deep.

For me its quite combersome to use tables.

It depends which device you use to look at it. It tends to adapt poorly on large screens or smartphones (at least the ones I use). And this is the primary reason to not use table AFAIK.

I've never heard of it. Looks promising! Thank you!

Edit: While the tables aren't perfect, this seems to be the best option so far.


Also literally any table, but that's not what the author meant.

Which table?

I'm referring to the table in the article.

There’s still a place for tables in some use cases. But that use case is thin.

Actually, just a table would be sufficient.
